Queen Kate rubbed her tired temples, and a wave of swelling pain spread from there to her whole body.The maid's delicate hand combed her unkempt hair into a dignified and elegant bun, and then applied a light makeup to hide the tiredness, and after an hour of careful grooming, Queen Kate shone again and radiant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Queen Kate glanced at the maid beside her with appreciation, and gave her the jade bracelet in her hand, and the little maid was flattered, and waited until the queen left, and then carefully stood up from the ground.

Last night, it was reported that Adrien Simon, the head of the Galaxy Affairs Security Section of the Galactic Federal Security Agency, would land on a starship at Earth's Haiyan Air Port today. Queen Kate knew the head of the security department very well, and there were records about him in some of the palace books. This is a legendary old man!

When Empress Kate entered the palace of the Imperial Council, the other ministers had already arrived. Present here are Finance Minister Huang De, who appears to be in good spirits today, State Minister Jiang Han with the same bitter face, Cabinet Ministers Lake Sriel and Prince Rossley, and Home Secretary Labelle Berryman. Queen Kate wondered why the prince didn't come, and as soon as she sat down, the prince pushed the door and came in.

Today, the prince was dressed very ceremoniously and neatly, with gold-rimmed leather boots on his feet, a long sword at his waist, and a scarlet cloak behind him fluttering with every step he took. A sparse beard grew on the prince's thin lips, and he seemed to have grown taller, with a little heroic feeling. The crown prince looked around at everyone and sat on the main seat, where Qin Xiangtian, the chief cabinet minister, usually sits.

"Lord Berryman, when is Lord Simon arriving?" the first question the Prince asked as soon as he took his seat about the official from the Federation. This was the first time the prince had seen a big man from the federal center, and he was very much looking forward to showing his demeanor in front of this lord.

LaBelle cautiously flipped through his notebook and said, "Back to the crown prince, Lord Simon will arrive at Haiyan Airport at noon today!"

"Well, very well, Uncle Huang," the crown prince looked at Prince Rose, "please come to the airport for me to greet me personally!"

"Prince," interrupted the Prince, Queen Kate, "he's just a small section chief of the Security Agency, so there's no need for the Prince to greet him, right?"

"Mother, this matter cannot be ambiguous. Although his official position is not very high, after all, he is an official of the federal executive body, so we should be cautious! Moreover, this does not mean to lower his posture, but only to show the enthusiasm of our empire for the guests of the Federation. Therefore," the crown prince turned to Prince Rossley, "Uncle Huang must not be cowardly at that time, it is best not to be humble or arrogant!"

Ross listened to the prince's words, fluent and natural, not at all like what a ten-year-old child should say, and it was also a child with epilepsy. Rosley had a relieved smile on his face, he had indeed inherited his brother's personality and traits. Ross nodded heavily, "Don't worry, Prince, I will definitely entertain this Lord Simon well!"

"Well, okay. As we all know, Simon came here to learn about the spatial rift. Unfortunately, I just asked Lin Feng to do something else, and I can only have relevant personnel from the Ministry of Defense to introduce the details. The prince thought for a while, and then said: "The spatial rift is located in the constellation Canis Major, and Simon will definitely offer to go and check it out in person, if the conditions allow, of course, let him see it." But Canis Major is currently in a chaotic period, their emperor has just died, the political situation is very turbulent, and the civil war is about to break out, in order to ensure his safety, forget it. Okay, that's it for now, are there any other issues?"

"Your Highness," Minister of State Jiang Han said, "I heard that a large-scale strike has broken out on the planet Europa of Jupiter in the Third Military Region!"

"Strike? Isn't this a common thing? Wouldn't it be enough to ask the Third Military Region to put things in order?" the prince was very impatient with such words, and he couldn't understand what kind of strike these lowly workers had food and clothes to wear, and if they didn't work well, they were going on strike.

"Your Highness, this matter is very strange, not an ordinary strike!"

"Hehe, the Minister of State is too sensitive, isn't it? Could it be because this happened in the Third Military Region?" the prince straightened his hair and smiled.

"Your Highness, I've heard about it, too," LaBelle said cautiously, "and it seems to have something to do with Wacker Snoard!"

"Wacker?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat up straight from his chair and glanced at his mother, who remembered that before the anniversary event began, the queen mother had worked with Wacker and built a statue of Murdoch in front of St. Peter's Church, which was later smashed, and it was a farce. "You're talking about Wacker Snod of the Freedom Alliance?"

LaBelle nodded, "This is the person, as far as I know, the Freedom Alliance has removed his position as head of the solar system. But it's not quite clear what he's doing in Europa, but it seems from this that he has ulterior motives!" LaBelle didn't pay attention, and the little calculation in his heart began to move again, but fortunately he soon realized it, and stopped talking about it.

However, his words had just aroused the prince's interest, "You go on!"

Seeing that he had received permission from the crown prince, LaBelle closed the notebook and said: "Judging from the analysis of this strike, it is obvious that WACKER was arranged at the lowest level of the Freedom Alliance, that is, to carry out propaganda activities. Europa was living in order, and it had only been a month or two since WACKER left the earth, so wasn't it obvious that he was able to launch a strike in a short period of time?" WACKER incited them to strike with the concept of 'surplus value'!"

"Residual value?"

LaBelle looked at the puzzled expressions of the crowd and explained, "He explained it through such an incident. For example, a screw worker can process 1,000 screws a day, and the total value of the screws processed in a month is 25 gold coins, and the worker can only get 5 gold coins per month. It's a strange thing, where did the twenty gold coins go? So Wacker said that the gold coins had been exploited by the upper nobility. The workers calculated their value in this way, and found that, as Wacker said, most of the value was taken away by the nobles and bosses, and they were left with only a small part of it, which was not enough to support their families. So they went on strike!"

"These twenty gold coins are the surplus value that Wacker is talking about?" the prince touched his chin and felt very reasonable, "but these gold coins are not allowed to buy machinery, maintain factories and other expenses?

"Your Highness is really wise," said LaBel, snapping himself on the ass, "but can he say that?

"Yes," the prince nodded, "these lowly workers are like brutes, led by others by the nose, and they don't move their brains at all, which is really hateful! What is even more hateful is Wacker, who has nothing to do when he is full! Ministers, what do you say we should do?"

"Your Majesty, in fact, this matter is simple," Huang De opened his mouth with a smile, "Since the workers are willing to listen to Wacker's nonsense and go on strike, it means that they still identify with Wacker very much." If something happens that makes their identification with WACKER disappear, or makes them think that their own identity has been deceived, the strike will naturally cease to exist!"

Huang De's words were very tongue-twisting, and the prince thought for a while before he came to his senses, "You mean to find an excuse to frame Wacker?"

"Your Highness is wise, that's exactly what the old minister meant. As long as the public can see or hear that WACKER is cooperating with the authorities, that is, the upper class, the strikers will naturally think that they have been deceived and become a tool for WACKER to demand benefits from those in power.

"Uh-huh, the power of rumors is very powerful!" LaBelle laughed.

"The power of rumors?" The prince savored this sentence, his eyes glanced at LaBelle a few times, but he lowered his head and thought about it, and muttered to himself: "The power of rumors!"

"I think it's too risky!" said Minister of State Jiang Han, who objected, "even if they kill Wacker, this idea of surplus value exists and cannot be eliminated." If one Wacker dies, there may be another Duke, another Mark to continue to preach the concept. Lord Huang's method can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause!"

"Oh, in that case, what is Lord Jiang's opinion?" Huang De sneered.

Jiang Han frowned, glanced at Huang De beside him, and shook his head, "I don't have a good way, after all, what he said is the truth, although there are some loopholes, enough to be covered up by the madness of the strikers!"

"So, since the Minister of State has no good way to cure the root cause, it is better to treat the symptoms first, and not let the strike wave continue to grow and grow, right?" said Huang De.

"Well, Lord Huang is right. When the meeting is held with the DPRK, the matter will be discussed in detail. The prince leaned back in his chair and suddenly remembered his grandfather, "How did Lord Qin do to exterminate the pirates?"

"Your Highness, this matter is going extremely hard, the number of interstellar pirates is still increasing, and the range of activities is very wide, it seems that there are still connections with other constellations and galaxies around it, and there will be many matters involved in solving it!" Prince Rosery explained, "I think this is also the most critical issue that plagues Lord Qin!"
